So, while the rest of the state shuts down their schools, I am guessing 10 to 1 odds that our district will have school tomorrow. Which leaves me with the decision to keep my kids home or to send them out in this crapola.

Ugh. CLOSE THE SCHOOLS!!

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

Are you ready for the most romantic story of your life? Grab your popcorn and settle in...this is gonna be a good one...

We met...

Are you sure you're ready?

For sure, for sure?

Okay...

We met...

In a bar.

I KNOW! Sooooo, romantic right? WAIT! It gets better...

We met, in a bar...

On my 21st birthday!

21st Birthday = lot's of alcohol consumption. Lot's of alcohol consumption does not a pretty girl make. I'm convinced I wooed him with my smarts.

*GASP* Are you laughing?! Hmmmm...well, I guess lot's of alcohol consumption does not a smart girl make.

Anywho, he liked something about me, and I thought he was pretty dang cute. 13 years later, I still think he's pretty dang cute...so I guess it wasn't just beer goggles that night! ;)

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

My bedroom.

Because it has my bed...and I love my bed.

I love my bed so much so, that my answer to #5 should really be something like "23".

I wish I could wiggle my ears. Or don't I? Okay, now maybe I'm satisfied with my nose licking abilities, 'cuz I bet those ear wigglers out there can't lick their noses.

4. What is your evening ritual?

Mine or the kids?

Quick kid run down: Eat, dishes, showers for those that need them, books if we have time, prayers, tucking in, kisses, drink for one, more kisses, drink for another, more tucking in, drink for someone else, kisses and tucking, back to drink for the first...you get the picture. ;)

Me: Brush teeth, good night.

Okay, okay, I lie...I'm more of a brush teeth, check on kids, read some blogs, get a drink, write a blog post, take some ibuprofen, shut off the lights, play some Words with Friends, check Twitter, play one more WWF game, check email, play JUST ONE MORE WWF game, put down phone, hear vibration telling me another WWF game is awaiting me, play ONLY ONE MORE WWF game, close eyes, fall asleep.

The end.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

"Need" or "want"?

To function...and to function well, probably about 5. Anything less and I am a zombified version of myself, pretending to be functional, but really just on autopilot.

I'm right there with you on the "love my bed" feelings. Like Jenn, I could just camp out there in the peace and quiet and be perfectly content. Sometimes, I wrap my body pillow in my hubs' fleece blanket and put it on his side to snuggle up to when I take a nap. Okay, did that sound weird? TMI? Sorry. Have a great weekend. BTW, I can't even imagine enough cold weather and snow to close schools in MN! Here in Texas, if there's a threat of an inch or two everyone freaks out and the kids get the day off. Usually by around noon (snow or not) the kids are running around playing in nothing but sweatshirts and if you slept in you missed the "snow" altogether. I hope you get to keep your kiddoes home where it's warm and safe!

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?I met my spouse at a dance. I was not looking to get into another relationship. It was quite a surprise. I was very attracted to him, but I didn't know instantly that it was love, but it didn't take long for us to fall in love with each other. It was very over whelming and scary since both of us previous marriages that were horrible and failed. It was also very wonderful :) Other than my kids he is the best thing that ever happened to me.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?My bedroom. My husband put a big addition on our house two summers ago and one of the rooms is our new bedroom. It's huge, it has a walk in closet and a on suite huge bathroom. I have decorated it just as I like and have a new bedroom suite. It's beautiful, and it feels like a hotel room it's so big. My little get a way from it all.

3. Can you wiggle your ears?No. I have never even tried until this very moment. lol.

4. What is your evening ritual?Don't have one. If I have to work I work. If I don't I try to spend it with the family or do some errands.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?6-8. I'm not as young as I used to be.

Loved your anwswers. You made me laugh, which I needed today so THANKS for that. Good to be back with the Friday Question gals/ and guys. I have been busy for the last 2 months and now I am back and ready to tackle the world.Thanks again for the laughs. Kath' from www.lilbitoldlilbitnew.blogspot.com

LOL I'm in love with my bed, too...could be in there all day if they'd let me! =) And GEEZ MON, that is SOME cold you have there!! I sympathize, though I can't really imagine since it has never and will never get that cold in TX. (Stupid TX!! LOL)

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here: Halo Braid Tutorial! Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this:

Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story! And this story...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this:

You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. (Ahem...) Just keepin' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just interject here...sorry for …

About Me

As a thirtysomething mother of five, wife to Mr. Wonderful (does that make me Mrs. Wonderful by default?), I try to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate every day. I'm proud that I define myself as a mother and a wife and that my career (I moonlight as a nurse) allows me to prioritize my life this way! I'll admit, mothering 5 is a challege, but the joy that it brings is worth all the heartache, chaos, stress and tears!!

Mr. Wonderful

My hunka hunka burnin' love!! Mr. Wonderful is "Most Likely to be Voted Husband of the Year". Seriously...the guy's amazing. He has an amazing work ethic, treats me like a queen and cherishes his children. He knows how I like my coffee and rarely balks when I need some girl time. He is an amazing man...and I am one lucky woman to have him!

The Pal

Our oldest child, "The Pal" has turned out to be a pretty amazing young man. Currently in college...GAH, COLLEGE!!! (how did this happen?!), he is his littlest sister's hero and makes his mama proud.

The Belle

E-Dubya (or E.W.)

Our second son, this boy fiercely loves his mama, is tender hearted, has the most amazing infectious laugh, is a hard worker, and an even harder player!

Hambone

Our "baby boy", Hambone is goofy, sometimes aloof, entirely his own person, and a miniature copy of his dad. His one-liners leave us laughing non stop. Comedic relief...at it's cutest!

Baby Girl

Our babe, she is a force to be reckoned with! So unlike her brothers and sister, she is incredibly strong willed, independent, and stubborn. She loves to check the cows with daddy and loathes shopping with her mama. She will most likely be found with a dirty face and sticky hair...
